Police say an upstate New York man killed his wife and then used a shotgun to kill his two sons and himself.
Trooper Melissa McMorris said Friday that pharmacist Abbas Lodhi first shot Sarwat Lodhi in Wappingers Falls, then killed 9-year-old Zain and 13-year-old Mujtabah.
The man’s body and those of his children were found Thursday in their Dutchess County hometown, Pleasant Valley. McMorris says Sarwat Lodhi’s body was found along a road on Friday.
She says Abbas Lodhi and his sons died of gunshots to their chests. She says his wife may have been killed with the same weapon.
The investigation into what was behind the killings continues.
Very sad. Many people can not handle the thought of losing their business, combined with a death in the family. May Allah Bless this family in Heavens.
x2 some shotguns come with 2 exchange able barrels,a pretty short one to defend house and stuff. long one for hunting.
What kind of amreekan wont know about guns
But I wont take that chance. one slip and you end up losing some thing you dont want to lose.
like ear or some thing.
Its worst then being dead. But give and take you can reach triggers with the hand even with a hunting shot gun.
I so like Canadaian laws about weapons
our desi culture is so good at disguising strife in the family unit.
we will kill each other and ourselves but we won’t admit to problems for the sake of “log kya kahengay”.
so sad.
I have used shotguns, obviously not to commit suicide successfully but unless its a sawed off shot gun..hand on a pump…okay couldn’t resist that.. but if not you would need to have some major arms reach to shoot yourself in the chest. possibly using a stick or something is possible, but even then the best place would be right under the chin than the chest if you really want to kill yourself.
^ you’re probably right. I don’t know enough about guns.
after killing his wife and kids maybe he was just lucky that Allah allowed him to off himself?
